CP to host drug and alcohol awareness event
Posted by | CommentsThe Clover Park High School Prevention Team and ASB members are hosting a drug and alcohol awareness event prior to prom on Friday, May 7. Prevention Team and ASB members have been disbursing brochures about the dangers of drunk/drugged driving at lunch. On the day of the event, administrators will announce the leading killer of teenagers is car crashes and that many of these are alcohol and drug related. The “Grim Reaper” will be visiting classrooms during the day and call a student out of class to represent someone who was killed in an accident. The student will visit the counseling center, receive a t-shirt and a placard of an actual victim who died, and return to class so their teacher can read the placard. The student is encouraged not to speak for the rest of the day. Someone dies from a drunk/drugged driving accident every 15 minutes in the U.S. The program illustrates the devastation this can cause. The goal of the event is to encourage students not to drive drunk or drugged, or get into a vehicle with an impaired driver. Prom and graduation are vulnerable times when teens are at risk. Clover Park’s prom is being held on May 8.
